OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Tinsley]

Sooo since Cycle 3 will start casting soon, let's discuss some stuffz!

My cast size will be 12 models. ~snip~

Also for Cycle 3, I was thinking either A) continue with this voting system, or B) Still eliminating a model each round, but keeping the points through each round. ~snip~ BUT I also recently heard a quote from Heidi Klum that said "A designer is only as strong as their recent design." so...a model is only as strong as their recent picture, which I agree with!

Honestly, as long as a model gets eliminated each round, I don't care which voting system we use. But I wanted to at least ask opinions, and if anyone sees any potential for cheating that I missed to let me know! ^^

Comments? Thoughts?

I also want to cast 6 models for a Youtube version, where the judges have all the control. Think of it as Binding Coil of Bahamut version. xDD

I like the round by round elimination. However, maybe implement a "model save" option that can be used once during the competition. Where the judges can unanimously vote to save the person about to be voted off, thus having no elimination that round and having two the next or making the save round the non-elimination one. This would give a consistently strong model a second chance if they happen to have a bad screenshot. And being a one shot deal, it can't be abused.

I like the voting system we have in place now. I think having a solid judge panel will also help with consistency and keeping things Kosher. They all need to commit and vote every round. Judges scores should be the balance to any vote padding from the general public side of things as well.

pls explain the youtube thing more please. not sure what you mean
